CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

“Oh come, let us worship and bow down;
let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker!

I read this meme on social media, which was put out by a local gathering called “church,” but which is a very modern and market-driven institutional “church” (business). The meme said: “We can’t motivate and provoke one another to love and good deeds in the church if we’re not coming together to...
2 Timothy 3:1-5 ESV

“Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another. Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity to the devil. Let the thief no longer steal, but...
Mishmash, squish-squash,
Dancers dancing, diners posh,
People singing, playing drums,
Words a plenty, others hum.
Tired limbs, feet sore,
Not aware of what’s in store.
Rainbows ending, lies a plenty,
Faith in God, they ain’t got any.
True love forsake,
Trust in God they will not take.

They fling out hurtful words, because they do not know any better. Does God revel in the strong pulverising the weak: marking out the territory that only the strong can enter, and pushing away the weak?
I know that the Lord will destroy them and heap ruin on their heads; but their words pierce...
